These markets focus on the number of passing touchdowns achieved by specific quarterbacks during an upcoming football game between Seattle and Denver. The outcomes depend on whether each quarterback reaches various thresholds of passing touchdowns, providing different levels of difficulty for each market.
Each market resolves based on whether the specified quarterback records a minimum number of passing touchdowns during the full game, including overtime. All contracts are designated as 'protected,' meaning if the player participates in at least one play during the first half but none after halftime, the contract resolves to the fair price prior to kickoff unless the required touchdowns are achieved. If the player participates in any play after the first half, the contract settles based on actual statistics regardless of first-half involvement. Participation in a play nullified by penalty does not count, and a player who never participates is subject to the fair price non-participation rule. The protected designation applies only to full-game contracts with an above or at-least payout criterion.
Typically, prediction market odds reflect the wisdom of the crowd and can differ from traditional sportsbook odds. Sportsbooks often set initial lines to balance action, while this market’s prices are driven purely by supply and demand from traders speculating on the likely outcome. If a significant number of traders believe a particular outcome is more probable than sportsbooks suggest, the price for that outcome will rise, and vice versa. It’s common to see discrepancies, especially as new information emerges and public perception shifts leading up to the game.
On Kalshi, this market is priced through a continuous order book where traders buy and sell contracts representing different outcomes for the number of passing touchdowns. The price of each contract indicates the probability of that outcome occurring, as perceived by the market participants. On Kalshi, prices reflect that venue's order book, liquidity, and how traders price the outcome right now. The price reflects the collective belief of those trading, and fluctuates based on supply and demand. Buying a contract is essentially betting that the outcome will occur, while selling a contract is betting against it. The closer we get to the game, the more volatile the prices may become.
This market resolves around Oct 16, 2026, with the outcome confirmed once the final number of passing touchdowns scored in the Seattle versus Denver game is verifiable from credible public reporting. The resolution will be based on official game statistics, and the contracts will pay out based on whether the actual number of passing touchdowns matches the outcome purchased. Traders will be able to see the final result and any payouts on Kalshi after the game concludes and the data is verified. The market will then be closed.
Several factors could significantly influence this market. Any news regarding injuries to key quarterbacks or wide receivers on either team would likely cause price fluctuations. Changes in weather forecasts, particularly if they suggest adverse conditions for passing, could also impact trading activity. Unexpected news about team strategies or coaching decisions could also move the market. Finally, large volume trades from informed individuals or groups could create short-term price swings, as traders react to new information or adjust their positions based on evolving expectations.
